Contemporary & Carefree
“Compartmentalized, dark and rather fussy” … not exactly the best adjectives for a home, but that’s just how the owners described the lackluster personality of their cramped and confining space.
Airy, contemporary and a bit whimsical were the characteristics that best complimented their taste, aesthetic and carefree lifestyle. And, being located on a lake and close to a park, the home’s design needed to reflect a casual and inviting feel, while still reflecting the family’s fun, eclectic style full of personality. Jkath design build + reinvent gave this home just the makeover it needed.
BEFORE
A love for cooking and a desire to host friends and family meant opening up the kitchen to allow for more natural light.
AFTER
- The kitchen was expanded to fit professional grade appliances and a large island to provide plenty of workspace.
- Worn hardwood floors were installed across all three levels for a striking, vintage aesthetic. Floating shelves and playful decor give the kitchen a punch of personality.
- A completely new mudroom and pantry was added to the rear entry. Peach and coral tones create a look that’s contemporary and cool.
BEFORE
Upstairs, an indulgent master bath was designed to provide respite for two busy parents.
AFTER
- A custom, steel shower surround gives the master bath an industrial, bohemian vibe.
- A custom barn door, and reclaimed cabinetry makes for a totally unique powder room. A perfect blend of rustic and modern elements create a home that’s effortlessly chic.
- Custom barn doors and detailed woodwork, including rebuilt staircase bannisters and shiplap walls, show off the discerning craftsmanship of Jkath build design + reinvent.
Now the home is not only stylish and stunning, but also incredibly livable for a modern family of four. Its open spaces and detailed finishes make a beautiful combination of contemporary and carefree living.
This home was a finalist for two industry awards. A similar contemporary basement remodel by Jkath build design + reinvent won the 2015 ROMA award in the Basement category.
